A dynamic survey of Iroquois history and traditions

Iroquois Culture & Commentary offers a dynamic survey of Iroquois history, culture and traditions beginning with the founding of the Great Law of Peace almost one thousand years ago down to the current movement to revitalize cultural traditions and recover lost homelands. Doug George-Kanentiio writes with a special authority as an Iroquois leader and member of the Mohawk nation as provides a complete refutation of stereotypes and misperceptions regarding the great Six Nation Iroquois Confederacy, whose settled territories comprises most of the landmass that became the various states of the American northeast. Iroquois Culture & Commentary is a superb and very welcome addition to Native American studies reading lists in general, and Iroquois cultural history collections in particular.
